I'm Jenny. I like reading and writing and fairy tales ( but mostly fairy tales). I rant a lot and get passionate about stupid things.

Shards of Glass is coming, even if I’m terrible at consistent promo! Preorders open now at waxheartpress.com

When Gerda’s neighbor and childhood friend disappears into the Mississippi, she refuses to believe he’s dead. A spontaneous rescue mission leads her to a strange new land, full of fairies, trolls, and talking flowers. To find her friend, she must travel through this land, to a palace at the top of the world. But reaching the palace is only the beginning-she has to get him home again, too.

A signed and numbered print of the following cartoon: Night. A child reads under the covers with a torch. Father: Ok, buddy. Time to stop reading. Child: Why? Father: we all like spending time in a fantasy world, but we need to sleep so that tomorrow we can go out and confront all the challenges that the real world throws at us.  Child: Tomorrow sounds a lot less fun than staying up late reading a book. CUT TO They are both reading under the covers with the torch.ALT

I’ve added five new limited edition prints to the shop at www.tomgauld.com/shop. This is one of them.

Warner Bros backpedaled so hard on the coyote vs acme situation because apparently after they announced that they weren’t gonna release it, a bunch of creatives called and cancelled their booked meetings and movie pitches with the studio to go other places.

After all, what’s the point of making a movie with Warner Bros when it’s more likely that they’re just gonna use it as a tax write off and never let it see the light of day?

And now an ACTUAL CONGRESSMAN is calling them out, this is ABSOLUTELY glorious!!

The @WBD tactic of scrapping fully made films for tax breaks is predatory and anti-competitive.  As the Justice Department and @FTC revise their antitrust guidelines they should review this conduct.  As someone remarked, it’s like burning down a building for the insurance money. https://t.co/Vb8vj3brD7  — Joaquin Castro (@JoaquinCastrotx) November 14, 2023ALT
